Definitions
- the present invention relates to a charging station for recharging electric vehicles.
- the present invention also relates to a method of operating a charging station for recharging electric vehicles.
- Electric vehicles have been existence for over 100 years, one of the pioneering European vehicles was the "electric dog-cart" designed and built be Magnus VoIk of Brighton England in 1887. Since then electric vehicles have come a long way in their overall design with many advances being made in motor and battery technology to improve their performance, efficiency and range. When compared to a conventional vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine, electric vehicles are much cleaner and friendlier to the environment, whilst reducing the running costs by as much as 90%. With all of these benefits over a conventional vehicle, electric vehicles still have one problem that has been in existence since their inception; that is the long time it takes to recharge their batteries.
- the present invention relates to a charging station operable in a charging cycle for charging an electric vehicle, the charging station comprising a key-activated controller for controlling the charging cycle.
- the controller should ideally enable the charging cycle only once it has been activated by a valid key. If the controller is not activated, the charging cycle may not be enabled and the charging station may not supply electricity. Thus, at least in preferred embodiments, improper use of the charging station can be prevented.
- the charging station can have one or more charging sockets.
- the controller may comprise a mechanical lock activated by a conventional key, such as a metal key.
- the controller comprises an electronic lock activated by an electronic key.
- the electronic key may comprise a magnetic swipe card, an electronic tag (such as an RFID tag), or a data storage device (such as ROM).
- the key may alternatively be understood to be a numerical or alphanumerical code input by a user, for example on a keypad or touch screen.
- the controller may be activated in response to biometric authentication provided by the key or directly by a user (for example by scanning a finger print). Of course, a combination of these different types of keys may be employed.
- the charging station is preferably provided with a panel movable between an open position and a closed position.
- the panel may be slidably mounted but it is preferably pivotally mounted.
- the panel preferably at least partially covers a charging socket when it is in the closed position.
- access to the charging socket is preferably restricted, and most preferably prevented, when the panel is in its closed position.
- the controller After the charging cycle has been enabled by the controller, it may be necessary to press a button or flick a switch to initiate the charging cycle.
- the charging cycle is initiated when the panel is moved to its closed position. So, if the charging cycle is not also previously enabled by the controller, the charging cycle may not be initiated.
- the charging cycle is preferably stopped when the panel is moved to said open position. This arrangement provides additional safety by ensuring that the charging socket is not live when the panel is open.
- a locking mechanism for locking the panel in said closed position is preferably provided.
- the locking mechanism is preferably controlled by said controller.
- activating the controller with a key may both unlock the locking mechanism to allow the panel to be moved to its open position and enable the charging cycle.
- a plug located in the charging socket is preferably locked in position by the panel when it is locked in its closed position. This prevents the plug being removed by someone not having a key to activate the controller.
- the locking mechanism can only be opened by a service key or the same key used to activate the controller to enable the ongoing charging cycle to be initiated.
- a service key or the same key used to activate the controller to enable the ongoing charging cycle to be initiated.
- the service key would be used by service or maintenance personnel to service or maintain the charging station.
- a user may have to input a code to activate the controller.
- the activation of the controller is preferably performed automatically when a valid key is used.
- the charging station may be provided with a transmitter for transmitting a signal to a transponder or a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag.
- the charging station may be provided with a receiver for receiving a signal transmitted from a transponder or Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag.
- RFID Radio Frequency Identification
- the charging station preferably comprises a processor for processing data received from a transponder or Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag.
- the key to activate the controller preferably comprises a transponder or Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag to provide data to the charging station.
- the charging station is preferably provided with a display, such as an LCD display.
- the display typically displays data received from the key, such as a registration number of the vehicle being charged.
- the display typically also displays information relating to the charging cycle. For example, the display may display the period of time that vehicle has been charging and/or the charged state of the vehicle's battery (for example as a percentage).
- the charging station may be a stand-alone unit. Preferably, however, the charging station can be connected to a data network.
- the charging station preferably comprises an interface to enable the charging station to be connected to the data network.
- the charging station may send and/or receive data over the network.
- the data may comprise one or more of, but is not limited to, the following: (i) customer identification data; (ii) customer account data, such as the credit that the customer currently has in an account; (iii) the start time and end time that the charging station was used by a customer; (iv) the period of time that the charging station was used by a customer; (v) the date; (vi) the total electricity consumed during a charging cycle; and/or (vii) vehicle registration details.
- the data typically enables a financial charge to be made to an individual for using the charging station.
- the charging station may be provided with processing means for receiving payment for performing the charging cycle.
- the processing means may process a credit or debit card payment; or a payment from a mobile phone, for example via receipt of a text message.
- the key-activated controller and the processing means may be combined such that receipt of the appropriate payment activates the controller to enable the charging cycle.
- the interface may provide a physical connection to the data network but it is preferably wireless.
- the present invention further relates to a plurality of charging stations linked to a central processor over a data network.
- the charging stations may exchange data, such as account data, with the central processor over the data network to enable financial charges to be made to customers for using the charging stations.
- the present invention relates to a key for a charging station as described herein.
- the key preferably comprises a transponder or Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag for transmitting data to the charging station.
- the transponder or Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag may, for example, store data relating to a user account and/or a vehicle registration details. This data may be transmitted to the charging station upon receipt of an appropriate signal from the charging station.
- the transponder or Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag may be passive or active.
- the key may be integrated with a vehicle key.
- the present invention relates to a charging station operable in a charging cycle for charging an electric vehicle, the charging station comprising a panel movable between an open position and a closed position; wherein the charging cycle is initiated when the panel is moved to said closed position.
- the charging cycle is preferably stopped when the panel is moved to said open position.
- the panel preferably at least partially covers a charging socket provided in the charging station. Access to the charging socket is preferably restricted or prevented when the panel is in said closed position.
- the present invention relates to a charging station for charging an electric vehicle, the charging station comprising an interface for connecting the charging station to a data network.
- the charging station communicates with a remote processor over said data network.
- the interface allows data to be sent to and/or received from the remote processor.
- the interface is preferably wireless.
- the present invention relates to a charging station for charging a vehicle, the charging station comprising an indicator for emitting visible light in two or more different colours to indicate the status of the charging station. At least in preferred embodiments, the charging station provides a clear visible indication of its status.
- a prospective user may determine the status of the charging station while they are still in their vehicle, thereby avoiding the frustration of parking at a charging station which is already in use or is out of order.
- the colour of the visible light emitted from the indicator is representative of a predetermined status of the charging station.
- the indicator is capable of emitting light in three different colours.

- GSM Global System for Mobile Communications
- LAN Local Area Network
- the interface 41 in the present embodiment is a GSM module.
- step 100 A signal transmitted from the transmitter in the charging station 1 triggers a return signal from the RFID tag.
- the return signal is detected by the receiver in the charging station 1 and the RFID processor 14 determines whether the RFID tag is valid (step 101). If the RFID tag is not valid, the session is terminated (step 102). If the RFID tag is valid, the RFID processor 14 determines whether it is a user tag, a service tag or a shut down tag (step 103).
- the charging station 1 is shut down (step 104).
- This type of RFID tag may, for example, be used if essential maintenance is to be performed on the charging station 1.
- the charging station 1 releases the access panel 5 and the digital communication port 30 is enabled (step 105).
- the display 9 is changed to indicate that the charging station is in service mode and the colour of the indicator 7 changed to red to show that the charging station 1 is not in service.
- the required servicing may then be performed on the charging station 1.
- the RFID tag is a user tag, the access panel 5 is opened and identification data from the RFID tag recorded (step 106). The time and date are recorded and an internal charging meter reset.
- the vehicle registration details are typically retrieved from the RFID tag and this information may, optionally, be displayed on the display 9.
- the charging cycle is enabled by the processor 13.
- the user then plugs a plug into the charging socket 11 to connect the electric vehicle to the charging station 1 and closes the access panel 5 (step 107).
- the processor 13 activates the locking mechanism to lock the access panel 5 in its closed position.
- the processor 13 changes the colour of the indicator 7 to green (step 108) to show that the charging station 1 is charging.
- the charging cycle is initiated and current is supplied to the electric vehicle (step 109).
- the user returns to the charging station 1 after a period of time has elapsed and presents their key to end the charging cycle (step 110).
- the RFID tag is detected and the RFID processor 14 checks (step 111) to determine if it is the same RFID tag used to commence the charging cycle.
- the RFID processor 14 checks whether the RFID tag is a service tag, a shutdown tag or another user tag (step 112). If the detected RFID tag is a service tag, the charging station 1 enters a service cycle and the display 9 is updated accordingly. If the detected RFID tag is another user tag, different from the RFID tag used to initiate the charging cycle, the display 9 displays a message indicating that the user tag is not valid for ending the session and the charging cycle continues (step 113). If the detected RFID tag is a shutdown tag, the charging station 1 is shutdown (step 114).
- the supply of electricity to the charging socket 11 is terminated (step 115).
- the access panel 5 is then unlocked to allow the plug to be removed from the charging socket 11 and the processor 13 records the tag identification, time and date along with the internal current meter value (step 116).
- the colour of the indicator 7 is then changed to blue to indicate that the charging station 1 is available for use.
- a user would first of all locate a vacant working charging station 1 that is easily recognisable at a distance by the indicator 7.
- This light preferably has the ability to change to any colour of the visible spectrum. If the unit is ready to supply power the light will glow blue. If the unit is busy charging an electric vehicle the light will be green in colour and if the unit has a fault or is unavailable to use the light will be red.
- the user presents their RFID tag to the RFID antenna so that this unit can interrogate the RFID tag and verify if it is valid. If the RFID tag is invalid the charging station 1 will not activate and a message will be displayed on the display 9 to advise the user that the RFID tag is invalid. In addition, the indicator 7 may momentarily change colour to alert the user that the tag is invalid.
- the charging station 1 checks to see whether the RFID tag is one of three types. The first being a shut down tag the second being a service tag and the third being a general user tag to activate the unit. If the RFID tag is a shut down tag then the unit will cut the power supply to the charging station.
- the electrical connector access panel 5 will be mechanically released exposing the charging socket 11 and digital communication line connector 30.
- the access panel 5 is released by a solenoid 37 however it is possible to use any number of alternative methods to release the door.
- the digital communication line 30 can be electronically incorporated into the charging socket 11 , however in this preferred embodiment the digital communications line 30 is separate. It should be noted that this communication line 30 may not be a physical connection, the communication may take place wirelessly via RF, GSM or optical link.
- the digital communications line 30 is covered by a plug to prevent ingress and un-authorised use. When in service mode this communications line 30 is activated allowing the charging station 1 to be connected to an external device for maintenance and reprogramming.
- the charging station 1 If the charging station 1 is not connected to an external device in or for a defined period of time the charging station 1 will time out and reset to a ready blue state with the communication line 30 disabled and no power being supplied to the charging socket 11. The charging station 1 will reset whether or not the access panel 5 has been closed. If the access panel 5 is closed prior to the time out, the charging station 1 will reset back to its ready to use state and the indicator 7 will change to a blue colour.
- the charging station 1 will commence a charging cycle by releasing the access panel 5 and changing the information on the display 9, this may include a welcome note and prompt for the user to insert the plug and close the access panel 5. If the access panel 5 is not closed on the charging station 1 at this point then the power will not be switched on. In addition, if the access panel 5 is not closed in a defined period of time then the charging station 1 will time-out and reset to the ready blue state.
- alternatives of the overall design may not include an access panel 5.
- the charging station 1 would sense that the charging socket 11 is engaged or disengaged.
- embodiments having an access panel 5 may also detect if the charging socket 11 is in use. To prevent the electrical connection being made whilst the charging socket 11 is live the unit will not supply power until the connection is made. Alternatively if the connector is removed before the charging cycle has ended then the charging station 1 will immediately cut the power from to the charging socket 11.
- all of this operation can be performed without the user pressing a single button.
- the only trigger for the charging station 1 to operate has been a successful read of a valid RFID tag.
- Each RFID tag is manufactured with a unique ID.
- the RFID tags may also store additional information.
- the RFID tags can be programmed such that the user's name, valid from & valid to date stamp, car registration number and the like can all be stored on the RFID tag.
- the charging station is also able to write and delete certain information on the tags. Information that would need to be written to the tags can include total times for using the units and total power supplied.
- the user would once again present the RFID tag to the charging station 1 for interrogation. If the RFID tag is the same general user tag then the unit will cut the power to the charging socket 11 , change the colour of the indicator 7, prompt the user to remove their electric vehicle from the charging socket 11 and close the access panel 5.
- the charging station 1 will not cut the power and the access panel 5 will not be released.
- the display 9 will however change to advise the user that they cannot access the charging station as another tag was used to start the recharging session.
- the unit In order to monitor the usage of the system the unit contains a data storage facility that is accessible to the microprocessor 13.
- the unit stores information about the session. Data such as the time, date and any of the information contained on the tag can be stored.
- the charging station 1 At the end of a recharging session the charging station 1 records how long the session was and how much power has been consumed in the process. By storing this information the usage can be monitored and used for many different purposes including but not limited to issuing charges for the power consumed and monitoring usage patterns.
- the charging stations will typically be placed beside a parking space to enable electric vehicle users easy access for recharging their vehicle.
- the unit can be programmed to limit the time that each charging session will last.
- a time can be shown on the display 9 to show the remaining time that the electric vehicle will be on charge for and at the end of this time the unit will cut off the power, but not open the access panel 5. This allows the charging station 1 to be used as a combined electric vehicle re-fuelling point and a parking meter. If a recharging session has exceeded the prescribed length then the charging station 1 will indicate this on the display 9 and the indicator 7 will change colour. This would indicate to a parking inspector that the vehicle has been parked for too long and a fine can be served.
- the information stored in the data base can be used to do the same as a parking attendant serving a parking fine. If a charging session has not been ended by the user before the end of the prescribed recharging cycle period a record of the time overstayed, tag ID, time and date is stored in the charging station 1 and can then be used to automatically serve a parking infringement penalty notice.
- a parking attendant can also monitor the correct usage of the tags. If the unit displays the vehicle registration number on the active display whilst charging a parking inspector can check to see if this is the corresponds to the vehicle that is currently being recharged. If the registration number on the vehicle is different to that displayed on the display 9 then this would indicate an incorrect tag, not registered to the vehicle was used to access the unit.
- the RFID tags can also be programmed to use a digital token to access the charging station 1.
- a finite number of digital tokens can stored on to the RFID tag, when a user accesses a unit to recharge their electric vehicle upon ending the session the charging station 1 then removes the number of tokens off the tag as payment for the power provided.
- This allows users of the charging station 1 to pay as they go and get their RFID tag topped up with further tokens much like a pay as you go mobile phone.
- the charging stations 1 also contain a GSM module to communicate with an external computer, this computer link is not limited to GSM and can be any form of digital communications over a conventional phone line, dedicated network, optical and the like. This link allows the unit to communicate with another computer or device for many different functions. These can include checking to see if an RFID tag is valid, updating the site firmware, downloading stored user data and event to indicate the physical state of the unit.
- the microprocessor controlling the charging station 1 can monitor the performance of the other internal components. If a component begins to fail or fails completely, the unit can communicate to an external computer via the GSM module to notify it of the failure.
- the GSM module also has another function that is to allow people access to use the site via a premium rate text message.
- This unit can display the GMS number on the active display, if a user sends a text to the number shown on the unit the user will be charged for the power that they use to their mobile phone. In this situation it would allow for future access to the system without the need for keys or tags.
- the charging station 1 can receive a text message from any source, the charging station 1 has stored within it a record of phone numbers that it is only allowed to receive incoming calls from. To communicate with the GSM module a user needs to call it much like dial up internet access, the incoming caller phone number has to match that stored in the unit or the GSM module will not receive the call.
- this feature to communicate with another computer via GSM or any other communication method can be used to flag vandalism or in appropriate use of the unit.
- the unit to function it follows a logical sequence of events. The sequence for commencing a recharging session of a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figure 7. If the access panel 5 has been forced open without a tag being read then the charging station 1 can notify an external computer of this access via the GSM module.
- sensors may be fitted into the charging station 1 to detect if the charging station 1 is being disassembled. Accelerometers or tilt sensors can be used to measure if a vehicle has hit the unit and it is now no longer in a vertical state.
- This ability to communicate to an external computer will facilitate the maintenance of a system consisting of multiple charging stations 1. Each charging station 1 will be able to communicate to an external computer or directly with other charging stations 1. When considering maintenance alone, as soon as a charging station 1 has a technical problem it can contact another computer to flag the fault and a maintenance report generated automatically. This detailed report of the charging station 1, fault and remedial action needed, can then be used to efficiently have the charging station 1 scheduled for repair.
- the charging station 1 essentially locks the access panel 5 to the charging socket 11 during a recharging session, in the event of a power failure it is advantageous that the access panel 5 is released and the locking mechanism is disabled until the power to the unit is restored. This feature will allow the user to disconnect their electric vehicle if there is a power failure. Alternatively if the charging station 1 itself becomes unserviceable whist in a recharging session the access panel 5 will be released, power cut from the charging socket 11 and the locking mechanism disabled to prevent the access panel 5 locking.
- the preferred embodiment encompasses one charging station 1 controlling the access and functionality of one charging socket 11 in the future it may be desirable to have multiple charging sockets on a single charging station 1 to allow several electric vehicles to be recharged from the charging station 1 simultaneously.
- the recharging status of each electric vehicle would be displayed on the display 9.
- the information on the display 9 is not limited to the specific functionality of the charging station 1.
- Other information including general advertising, maps, video and even internet access can be displayed on the unit. This would turn the charging station 1 into a multimedia access point at street level.
- the charging station 1 could incorporate speakers for audio output and/or a wireless, 3G or GPRS internet connection to allow users to access the internet.
- a preferred embodiment of the charging station 1 may also enable electronic or digital communication with the vehicle being charged.
- the charging station 1 may be capable of serial communication over the electrical wires supplying power for recharging; serial communication over additional wires connected to the vehicle that do not supplied power for recharging the vehicle and/or by wireless communication.
